I would have to remove the motherboard to get the thing out. At this point, I will either just get a new card or just splurge on a big new machine (my current one is 4-years old).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the advice :)Jason Janickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04571845720693197723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812930407718856652.post-84100121510220536812008-02-29T03:59:00.000-08:002008-02-29T03:59:00.000-08:00I support the tips regarding the power supply, esp...I support the tips regarding the power supply, especially since i have heard that the new ATI cards are good for little else than sucking huge amounts of power. Anyway, if I may recommend something, get a Radeon X800 XT - very fast and very frugal, I have one and most new games dont pose much a problem, most run well enough in low-mid details ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812930407718856652.post-88462667523422219692008-02-27T22:26:00.000-08:002008-02-27T22:26:00.000-08:00Thanks for all the suggestions, guys.

What I've done to clear most of them up is the Omega drivers. They're a 3rd party driver that actually does a better job than the ATI ones.

I've had this happen myself.Groghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790789391845816218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812930407718856652.post-60364905210743106212008-02-26T15:43:00.000-08:002008-02-26T15:43:00.000-08:00WoW will work on anything, including a 3 year old ...WoW will work on anything, including a 3 year old G4 iMac that is very temperamental and not very fast.

So with a video card that needs 300W minimum, and you have a 330, you don't have enough power to run everything else in the system. I would go with a minimum of a 650W power supply and you should be fine.Groghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790789391845816218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812930407718856652.post-3257005995757590802008-02-26T05:15:00.000-08:002008-02-26T05:15:00.000-08:00Maybe the Video Card is not getting enough power, ...Maybe the Video Card is not getting enough power, so it shuts down one of their DVI connections (they're power hogs).<BR/>Try testing a larger PowerSupply.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812930407718856652.post-65708553569153018892008-02-26T05:12:00.000-08:002008-02-26T05:12:00.000-08:00If WoW works well on each of the monitors, try tes...If WoW works well on each of the monitors, try testing the resolution WoW's working at on the problem monitor; to my knowledge, that 'Signal Loss' problem is caused by using resolutions beyond the monitor's capability.
